Wildbill Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 it is the surface area that the propane evaporates from liquid to gas that is why the bigger users have horizontal tanks so that more propane can be supplied in colder temperatures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volunteer2 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Have to put a thermostat blanket around the tanks! Did you make it over there. Were the directions good to get you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Did you make it over there. Were the directions good to get you in? Never made it, had too much work to do, unfortunately. I usually make at least one. I know where Dave means though. Glad you had a great turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not over kill after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegs Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 We were using 100 lb tanks but as they went down in volume, I think the pressure wasn't enough in the cold temps and maybe that's why the regulators were freezing. We started using the 20 lb tanks to get bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catinental couch Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Propane remains in liquid form at -43 degrees.To get it to vaporize,pour hot water on it or shake it to adgetate the liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
